Compliance with lawful requests under Patriot Act.

(A)
Notwithstanding any law, ordinance, or collective bargaining contract to the
contrary, no state or local employee shall unreasonably fail to comply with any
lawful request for assistance made by any federal authorities carrying out the
provisions of the USA Patriot Act, any federal immigration or terrorism
investigation, or any executive order of the president of the United States
pertaining to homeland security, to the extent that the request is consistent
with the doctrine of federalism.

(B)
No municipal corporation shall enact an ordinance,
policy, directive, rule, or resolution that would materially hinder or prevent
local employees from complying with the USA Patriot Act or any executive order
of the president of the United States pertaining to homeland security or from
cooperating with state or federal immigration services and terrorism
investigations.

(1)
Any municipal corporation that enacts any
ordinance, policy, directive, rule, or resolution that division (B) of this
section prohibits is ineligible to receive any homeland security funding
available from the state.

(2)
Whenever the director of public safety determines that a municipal corporation
has enacted any ordinance, policy, directive, rule, or resolution that division
(B) of this section prohibits, the director shall certify that the municipal
corporation is ineligible to receive any homeland security funding from the
state and shall notify the general assembly of that ineligibility. That
municipal corporation shall remain ineligible to receive any homeland security
funding from the state until the director certifies that the ordinance, policy,
directive, rule, or resolution has been repealed.

(1)
If a state or local employee states disagreement with, or a critical opinion
of, the USA Patriot Act, any federal immigration or terrorism policy, or any
executive order of the president of the United States pertaining to homeland
security, the statement of disagreement with or critical opinion of the act or
order is not sufficient to qualify for purposes of this section as unreasonable
noncompliance with a request for assistance of the type division (A) of this
section describes.

(2)
Any
municipal corporation's ordinance, policy, directive, rule, or resolution that
states disagreement with, or a critical opinion of, any state or federal
immigration or terrorism policy, the USA Patriot Act, or any executive order of
the president of the United States pertaining to homeland security is not
sufficient to qualify as a "material hindrance or prevention" of local
employees from cooperating with federal immigration services and terrorism
investigations or from complying with the USA Patriot Act or any executive
order of the president of the United States pertaining to homeland security for
purposes of divisions (B), (C), and (D) of this section.
